We’re taking over Fusion Arts for a free afternoon of carnival culture, with hands-on workshops for young people and plenty going on for the whole family.

Workshops for ages 11+

🥁 Steel Pan Workshop

Pick up the sticks and learn to play. You don’t need any experience, just turn up ready to make some noise.

🎭 Carnival Mas Workshop with Roland Noel

Design and build your own carnival headpiece from scratch, and take it home at the end of the day.

Each workshop runs for around an hour and a half, with a short break in the middle. There are only 15 places on each, so book early.
